District-Level NCES Analysis
Livingston Collegiate Academy operates 1 public schools serving 607 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Louisiana. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Orleans Parish.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,986 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 188 Louisiana districts by per-pupil spending. See how Louisiana compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 35.2% local, 37.3% state, and 27.5% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 64/100, ranked #44 of 175 in Louisiana against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 287.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 34.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.7% African American, 19.7% Hispanic or Latino, 1.0% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Livingston Collegiate Academy, enrolling 575 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Livingston Collegiate Academy accounts for 94.7% of all Livingston Collegiate Academy student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Livingston Collegiate Academy a distant remainder — means Livingston Collegiate Academy-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Livingston Collegiate Academy has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 85.7% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Livingston Collegiate Academy student-counselor ratio is 288:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Livingston Collegiate Academy is typically wider than the Livingston Collegiate Academy-aggregate figure suggests.
Livingston Collegiate Academy chronic absenteeism rate is 34.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
